I think it's a Colorado right of passage to watch this race in person!

The Fan Fest for the race is actually the event that I wanted to have a meet-up at. Here is some info about the Fan Fest:

June 27th, 2014

Fan Fest is the annual pre-race celebration held in downtown Colorado Springs (Tejon St. between Colorado Ave. & Bijou St.) promoting the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Top race qualifiers will display their vehicles (cars, quads, motorcycles, etc.), give driver demos and be present for autograph sessions.

I am trying to talk to some organizers and vendors that I know who might be able to give everyone their own designated Tesla parking area. If I can get enough cars I think I can make this happen. I will also be doing some event cover

Yes, I'm going out....haven't seen the race since 1958. I plan to get be there 6/27 - 7/3. Driving out from Lake Forest, IL. Taking I-90 because there are no Superchargers on I-80. This adds 300 miles to the trip (1390 vs 1185 miles).
